Q. When did Dim Vanilla start? Tell us about the history...
Dim Vanilla started the fall of 2015 when Erik and Aron's previous band split up and they decided to start a new one together. Erik showed some of the demos he was working on for Dim Vanilla to his friend Hannes who he had played together with in a band in high school. He was really excited about the songs so he was a natural choice to join the band as a bassist since Aron and Erik already played guitar. We then found our drummer Claes and through an ad on a band member webpage. He was the first and only drummer we auditioned and it worked out really great. We then tried out a couple of different singers until we found Felicia who previously has made music under the name Primary Colour.

Q: Who are your influences?
We are inspired by a lot of different music but at the moment some of our influences are: Tame Impala, Kurt Vile, Portishead, King gizzard and the lizard wizard, Black Sabbath and Les Big Byrd.

Q: Tell us about the process of recording the songs ?
We have recorded,mixed and mastered all our music on our own. The recording has been done track by track. Mostly in Eriks apartment and various rehearsal spaces. We use a bunch of different mics trough an external soundcard into a laptop with Abelton.
